--- Comment #9 from Lastique <andy...@mail.ru> --- IMHO, mobile and desktop should be completely different UI. Very often what is good and usable in one is not in the other. If people don't notice the progress bar then maybe it is poorly placed or not visible enough. Honestly, I pay no attention to the sidebar because it doesn't offer anything important for the purpose of installing updates. That is, I only open the applet when there are updates, and my attention is focused on the list of packages and the update button. Same when the packages are being installed - I'm looking at the progress, i.e. the list of packages. At no time I pay attention to the sidebar, so, to me the sidebar is useless and wasted space. I guess, many people behave similarly. It would be better if the total progress bar was located somewhere logically associated with the list of packages, e.g. above or below the list. Also maybe make it taller so that it catches the eye. Another idea is maybe the Discover UI should hide the sidebar while downloading and installation is in progress and show the total progress bar at the top or bottom of the package list. Take Muon package manager for example. There is UI for searching and selecting packages that has different views and tabs with various package information, searching, filtering and other stuff. When you start the downloading/installation, all that UI changes to a simple list of packages with their progress bars. User's focus unavoidably shifts to the list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
